In 2012, Calvinist pastor [Tullian Tchividjian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tullian_Tchividjian) wrote an article, ["Are Christians Totally Depraved?"](http://www.christianpost.com/news/are-christians-totally-depraved-68622/) , in which he applied the language of *total depravity* to both non-Christians and Christians. He argued that the phrase, "as understood and articulated by theologians for centuries, [...] means more than one thing" – both having "no spiritual capacity to incline ourselves Godward" (as non-Christians) and "sin corrupt[ing] us in the 'totality' of our being" (as Christians). Is this the typical understanding of the doctrine of *total depravity* in Reformed theology?

Recently there has been a falling out between Tullian Tchividjian and The Gospel Coalition. Tullian Tchividjian was requested to move his blog away from The Gospel Coalition website. Can anyone summarise what this falling out is about? From The Gospel Coalition's announcement below it appears that the issue was about sanctification, but none of the pages below link to where he wrote about it. What exactly did Tullian Tchividjian say that TGC disagreed with? Some links: - [On some recent changes at TGC (The Gospel Coalition's announcement)](http://thegospelcoalition.org/article/on-some-recent-changes-at-tgc) - [“I’ve come to set the captives free” (Tullian Tchividjian's announcement)](http://www.pastortullian.com/2014/05/20/ive-come-to-set-the-captives-free/) - [Reflections On My “Break-Up” With The Gospel Coalition (a follow up post by Tullian Tchividjian)](http://www.pastortullian.com/2014/05/30/reflections-on-my-break-up-with-the-gospel-coalition/)

My question is prompted by the [Liberate 2014 Conference and the concept of One Way Love](http://paultripp.com/what-i-like/posts/liberate-2014-one-way-love) . There's also a book by a pastor Tullian Tchividjian called "One Way Love". What does Liberate 2014/Tullian mean by 'One Way Love' and what is their understanding of man's role in reciprocating per 1 John 4:19? > We love because he first loved us. *(1 John 4:19)*
